Maybe a silly question but...I was watching an OnDemand program when I get a message saying it must close the OnDemand screen to record a program (I was already recording one program). I know you can watch a pre-recorded show while recording two, but does this not apply to OnDemand? Is it the same with Netflix?

To be more clear, On Demand is LITERALLY the exact same as tuning a channel on live TV. They are simply "making" a channel for you live.

The one thing I have wondered about is that it gives me a VERY strange time to "finish" the watching of On Demand. Like lets say I have enough padding overlaps to use all 4 tuners (NOT uncommon), and if I'm watching On Demand at the same time I get the warning message.. But the conflict will be gone in ~2 minutes usually, but it asks me if I want to finish watching at 1:30AM or something like that.. many hours in the future.

Same thing happened to me when I was watching Xfinity On Demand in the evening. I think all 4 tuners filled up probably due to a few minute overlaps. However, it told me the conflict was at 2:30am!

Maybe because the other 99% of the time it would still pad. I've always had at least one series link or Season Pass that wasn't set up to pad, it's not like that detracted from the nicety of having other ones pad.

I don't need to pad most of my shows, so I only have a small percentage of shows with padding. But if I miss a little bit of a show, I will not watch it. I'll get it from Amazon, Vudu or Xbox Live rather than miss part of it.

Well, for the other 99% of the population who isn't going to freak out over not padding something, it would be nice to have that as an option.
